A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
The President in Minneapolis- Healthcare
14 Sep 2009 Author: rikyrahJJP’s own Spirit was there.
The crowd was fired up,15, 0000 strong, and PBO again, laid out his case for a public option. Folks love and support our President. Of course there were folks outside Target Center who protested, and that is there right.
When President Obama was going through some of the ways to pay for the healthcare bill, a man shouted, “STOP THE WARS.” Which really does make sense, in the scheme of things.
I think the crowd as a whole was extremely supportive, and was on the lookout for any kind of foolishness and disruptive behaviors.
Can you spot spirit?
Yes, one of a few AA women. I wore a periwinkle blue pantsuit-some say gray or blue,and had my hair flat ironed and pulled back. It was hot today.
